Thanks so much to @AgronAlum for this!
What is your favorite song/album where a musician crossed genres?
I don’t want to steal his example, but one that comes to mind is Jack White on Beyoncé’s “Don’t Hurt Yourself.”
I agree. I think this is a stab by Sting at Rockabilly:A lot of these seem less "crossing genres" and more like taking something from another genre and just doing your genre's spin/cover of it.
